  speed and stability tests
Posted by: luckyrockpro - 05-29-2019, 08:15 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

Hey together,

I would like to use the rockpro64 as a server.

First of all I would like to do speed and stability tests.

I have two questions for now

1) Which image should i use?
I've heard that kernel 5 is supposed to bring some speed enhancements, is there already a stable image for it?

2) I have a passive cooler, do I still need heat conduction paste?


  Just got my Pinebook, and a few questions
Posted by: Brian Beuken - 05-29-2019, 07:40 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (2)

I have a few of the Pine products, which I use for testing and teaching Games coding for beginners. 

Im also working on a project to deliver some outreach courses to African countries to target potential new developers who may not have the chance to get access to usable computers much less expereinced game developers as teachers.

With that in mind I am exploring the Pinebook as a possible unit give to students and then hold courses to teach them the basics.

My 1st impresssions of the Pinebook are really great, out of the box running KDE neon 5.15 its clearly fully working, its a bit slow but thats expected, I don't need massive power, only funtionality. I was able to install Code::Blocks and run some test projects. I'm going to try some graphic tests shortly too. I'll continue with KDE Neon for a while but there might be a good reason to change to another OS (I note it does eat a lot of my 2Gb)

I wonder if I can pick your brains though, for full usability I need an OS that has OpenGLES2.0 graphic drivers for the Mali 400 GPU (is it a single core??)

Can anyone tell me which of the current ones have hardware access to the GPU?

thanks 

Brian


  PCIE SATA controller ASM1062 problems or software
Posted by: vecnar - 05-28-2019, 01:16 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (36)

Hello,

I posted on another thread but after further basic testing decided to put it in separate thread as i am not sure where the problem is.

Below was ordered in march 2019 and haven't been setup or fully used yet.

  • rockpro64 4gb
  • nas case with 12v 5a psu and fan
  • Sata pcie card ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
  • sd card imaged with stretch-openmediavault-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img



Main problem is when i first plugin power connector to rockpro64 it automatically starts to boot from sd card (which is good) but once os boots hard drives are not showing up in omv and it takes much longer to boot. I have to reboot at least once for hard drives to show up. It also throws a lot of errors when trying to copy a number of files.


My findings:
  1. After first boot no disks are seen but i hear hard drives starting to spin up 2x 4TB WD red, i tried with only 1 drive but the same problems so power shouldn't be an issue.
  2. If i execute "halt -p" when disks are not seen in omv i can still hear them spinning when rockpro64 power on light is off.
  3. During reboot disks do not stop spinning
  4. Based on the above it looks like sata card or whatever controls disk recognition need to be reconfigured to add delay but i do not know how



Before i go and start purchasing different sata cards (they are not cheap here, around 40-50 euro for marvel 88se9215) i would like to know is it a problem with sata card or time it takes for hard drives to spinup and start talking to sata card. I would also like to know if asmedia 1602 rev01 is stable and performing well for others.

Below are the errors i see when copying some files to disk
Code:
[ 2939.458032] ata2.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error
[ 2939.462603] ata2: SError: { Handshk }
[ 2939.466949] ata2.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED


Below are the errors i see after first boot

Code:
[   80.509588] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 1 SControl 310)
[   80.534423] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed

Thanks in advance

  wifi issues
Posted by: george2524 - 05-27-2019, 05:41 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (9)

Hi all,
I am having hair pulling issues! I have had my Rock64 board for over a week now. I have tried most of the Debian distros and most of the Ubuntu distros from the rock64 wiki page. I have had only one distro to works and get internet activity the Armbian Debian Stretch Desktop [microSD / eMMC Boot] [5.65] distro.

I have not been able to get any of the other distros to connect to anything. My latest attempt has been with the Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.8].  I found the network panel and this distro sees my wifi adapter and my home network but refuses to connect..

I have not been able to find any help on the internet for this. I have only found ifconfig and iwconfig of which iwconfig is not in the distro, it has been replaced with ip.

Please help this noob,

George


  How to check if my power supply is underperforming?
Posted by: va88 - 05-27-2019, 06:05 AM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Hey guys, I'm having this issue with my external hard drive disconnecting and I'm suspecting my power supply is underperforming.

It's not the official power supply, it's a generic one I found on a store nerby. Except from this suspicion regarding the external HDD, it never showed any sign of problem.

In the Raspberry Pi there's the lightning symbol that shows the undervoltage situation, what about the Rock64? Is there any log or diagnostic tool to track and see if the power supply is underperforming, or if the USB 3 port is not outputing 5V?
Thanks.


Question Android SDK Oreo
Posted by: NGC6691 - 05-27-2019, 05:39 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

As I can see there seems to be the Android Oreo SDK for this board available on Wiki.

Code:
tulip_p3-eng
tulip_p3-user
tulip_p4-eng
tulip_p4-user
tulip_p4-userdebug
uranus_t1-eng
uranus_t1-user

These are the device available, which should I use?
What's the differences between p3 and p4?

Thanks.


  No Power Supply?
Posted by: data_generating_event - 05-26-2019, 12:13 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (5)

Hi,
Received my new Pinebook. There doesn't seem to be a powersupply in the package, even though the shipping manifest shows "Power Supply: US" on it. Was the power supply a separate order item or ? 

Thanks
